Chief executive officer

A chief executive officer (CEO in American English) or managing director (MD in British English) describes the position of the most senior corporate officer, executive, or administrator in charge of managing an organization. The CEO of a corporation or company typically reports to the board of directors and is charged with maximizing the value of the entity. Titles also often given to the holder of the CEO position include president and chief executive (CE).

Responsibilities

The responsibilities of an organization's CEO are set by the organization's board of directors or other authority, depending on the organization's legal structure. They can be far-reaching or quite limited and are typically enshrined in a formal delegation of authority.

Typically, the CEO/MD has responsibilities as a director, decision maker, leader, manager and executor. The communicator role can involve the press and the rest of the outside world, as well as the organization's management and employees; the decision-making role involves high-level decisions about policy and strategy. As a leader of the company, the CEO/MD advises the board of directors, motivates employees, and drives change within the organization. As a manager, the CEO/MD presides over the organization's day-to-day operations.
The term refers to the person who takes all the decisions regarding the upliftment of the company, which includes all sectors and fields of the business like operations, marketing, business Development, finance, Human resources, etc. The CEO of a company is not necessarily the owner of the company.

Paul Keating - our role in Asia in the Trump era

The election of Trump and the victory of the Brexit movement are the most obvious examples of the populism driving countries to become more insular. This combined with China's return to a power of the first order means that Australia faces an increasingly uncertain world.
Hear from former Prime MinisterPaul Keating about the path Australia should forge in this rapidly changing world. He has long argued a greater independence in Australian foreign policy could be beneficial and allow more focus on our immediate neighbours: Asian countries to our north.
Speakers:
The Hon. Paul Keating

Why China Will Not Become the Dominant Power in Asia

Public Lecture by Emeritus ProfessorPaul Dibb and Adjunct Associate ProfessorJohn Lee.
The belief that China will soon become the dominant power in Asia is based on assumptions that its continued and rapid economic rise, and its emergence as a regional peer of America’s in military terms is all but assured. Such a belief underpins arguments that a fundamental strategic reorganisation of Asia is inevitable, and that it will be necessary and perhaps even desirable to concede to China significant ‘strategic space’. Dependent largely on linear extrapolations about the future, such arguments ignore the implications of China’s economic, social and national fragilities, its lack of major friends or allies in the region as well as the considerable military deficiencies and challenges faced by t...

Southeast Asia: Domestic Political Developments and their Security Implications

Google Tech TalkNovember 5, 2009
ABSTRACT
This MITEI on the Road event will open with a brief overview of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) by Daniel Enderton, Executive Director of MITEIs Sustainable EnergyRevolutionProgram (SERP). This overview will highlight the extensive depth and breadth of research, education, campus energy and outreach activities underway as part of the Initiative. Mr. Enderton will give particular focus on the SERP program, with highlights of successful past projects in storage, promising new projects in geothermal and the impact philanthropy is having on renewable energy research at MIT.
Following this, ProfessorTonio Buonassisi of Mechanical Engineering will give a presentation describing the key technical challenges to scaling commercial PV technologies to the terawatt level. The speaker will present a vision for the role of university engineering and science towards surmounting these challenges, drawing from personal experience in the solar industry, national laboratories, and academia. Increased solar cell conversion efficiencies, novel materials, and decreased capital equipment costs will be discussed as a means to achieve rapidly scalable manufacturing, highlighting the role of innovation.
technologies and how they will help drive down the cost of solar technology to be competitive with petroleum-based alternatives, while Mr. Enderton will give an overview of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) and information on other renewable energy projects at MIT.
Tonio Buonassisi is Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT and heads an interdisciplinary laboratory focused on photovoltaics (solar energy conversion into electricity). Prof. Buonassisi completed his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley, with research at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar EnergySystems and the Max-Planck-Institute for Microstructure Physics. In addition to teaching classes focused on PV technology, Prof. Buonassisi is an author of 65 journal, conference, and workshop articles focused on PV, and has delivered over 50 invited talks and plenary/oral presentations on his work throughout the world. Prof. Buonassisi's work has been honored with awards including the EuropeanMaterials Research SocietyYoung ScientistPresentationAward, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) GraduateResearch Fellowship, and the National Renewable Energy LaboratoryGraduate Student Award. More information about Prof. Buonassisis work can be found at http://pv.mit.edu/.
Daniel Enderton is Executive Director of the MIT Energy Initiatives Sustainable Energy Revolution Program, which seeks to coordinate and enhance support for breakthrough research in renewable energy sources—such as solar, wind, waves, geothermal, and bioenergy—as well as their associated enabling technologies, including storage and transmission. In 2008, Daniel defended his Ph.D. in climate physics and chemistry in MITs Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences. His research focused on estimating and understanding the poleward transport of energy by the atmosphere and oceans, and how this partition affects surface climate conditions. As a student, Daniel was a Linden Earth System Fellow, 2007-2008 President of the MIT Energy Club, and ContentDirector for the 2007 and 2008 MIT Energy Conferences.

My guest is Eric Rosenkranz, former Vice Chairman of Focus MediaChina, now founder and CEO of Advisory firm, eThree. I’m speaking to him in the offices of Expara, one of Singapore’s earliest venture capital firms that specialize in incubating and training start-ups.
In case you missed our last episode, it featured Eric’s unforgettable tale of a billion-dollar startup that began with the idea of placing video feeds in Chinese elevators.
It was that success that led Eric to position himself as mentor to some of Southeast Asia’s most promising young entrepreneurs. He’s the guy folks turn to in hopes of taking their game to the next level. That’s our focus this time: executive mentoring.
Most everyone will agree that supporting and developing leadership teams is one of the most crucial functions in ensuring a company’s success. In practice, however, the effort is widely neglected. As a corporate headhunter, I’m regularly astounded at the meager investment that most company’s make in their people. Formal training programs, top-team development strategies, and psychometric testing are all highly structured techniques for bettering people to boost performance. Start-ups or mid-size companies may not have such extravagant resources, but it doesn’t mean that talent development should be regarded as any less important.
Classic “mentoring” is one of the oldest, most effective, and truest forms of instilling skills, building loyalty, and passing on knowledge. Even so, I’m continually struck by how effective mentoring has fallen off the radar for many companies. It’s all the more shocking, when you consider how much lip-service is paid to the idea.
Whether it’s due to fewer resources or the more intimate nature of being an early-stage company, mentoring among start-ups tends to be more prevalent, and while it’s hard to quantify, there’s some indication that it’s enjoying a bit of a resurgence. Around the world—and Eric gives us a unique glimpse into the challenges specific to Asia—the concept and practice of mentoring via “incubation” or more informal means, appears to be enjoying a comeback.
As Eric points out, the key to effective mentoring is to think less about one size fits all, and to think more about tailoring mentoring to the most immediate needs of young entrepreneurs on a trajectory to become savvy, fast-growth executives.
